Excerpt from Shakespeare Studied in Eight Plays These words are spoken by the sage Greek warrior Ulysses, and the great truth they express is transmitted in Shakespeares matchless words to most civilised peoples of the present time. They are attributed to the Greek chief, who with the king, Agamemnon, and the other chiefs, Achilles and Ajax, besiege Troy, then ruled by an aged king, Priam. This old monarch with his valiant sons, Hector, Troilus and Paris, defend their unfortunate city with a determined valour, which rivalled that of the besieging Greeks.
